We will be driving straight from the San Diego race to LOTO. But it will be fun, we would not miss it....

Jim, Most of the boats have had them at one time but some have removed them to lower there weight and move the CG back just a little. The only time we ever use ours is if we missed the set up and its to late because we are on the parade lap and the water is bigger than expected. The other problem is our courses are smaller now and it takes to much time to fill and dump between legs on the course. If best case is a 2-3 mile stretch of rough water its not worth the time. You will be out of the rough before you leveled the boat out. Know you are stuck with weight for 30 seconds on a softer leg trying to dump it.
To answer your question I have one that rarely ever gets used. I wont comment on the other boats its not my place.

funny thing is Randy,I only know a few of those people.The only way I could let my fans down is to not show up.Everybody loves to see the underdog win! Or is it that I'm just a likeable kinda guy.Dad always told me."ya dont have to win as long as you gave it your best effort" but ya could at leat finish one! lol
